MARTIN O’Neill has warned his cock-a-hoop Villa side about the dangers of under-estimating Albion.

Tony Mowbray’s men are bottom of the Premier League, having scored just three away goals all season.

But O’Neill believes Albion’s back-to-back home victories over Manchester City and Tottenham have given them renewed vigour in their battle against the drop and is expecting an attractive game against a footballing side.

“West Brom have had two terrific performances and results in winning their last two home games and put themselves right back in it again,” he said.

“The league is so tight that obviously anything can happen at this stage.

“This is not a game where you start looking at league positions.

“I know I say that umpteen times but it is absolutely true.

“I would not look at a league table in the Premier League and read anything into sides that have got four or five points difference on others or whatever the case may be.

“It doesn’t work like that. Albion have pulled themselves right around with two big victories.

“They managed late goals in the games to win those matches and that gives you such a boost if you can see the game through.’’
